COVID lockdowns, mRNA shots, and the psychology of obedience: Dr. Joseph Sansone joins Alix Mayer to explain why he believes the pandemic response was an exercise in authoritarian control.

The psychotherapist and author of Psychopathic Authoritarianism argues that lockdowns were mass coercion, masks served as psychological “convincers,” and fear-based messaging conditioned people to obey—and punish those who wouldn’t. Drawing parallels with the response to 9/11, he describes a recurring political strategy built around an “invisible enemy.”

Sansone also explains his opposition to mRNA shots, which he characterizes as biological and technological weapons. He discusses his “Ban the Jab” resolutions, litigation seeking their removal from the market, and why he believes officials across political parties have failed to act.

At the center of his argument is the dark tetrad—sadism, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. He examines how these traits can shape leaders and followers, turning concern for others into public humiliation, social exclusion, and an appetite for control.

Why do people defend restrictions on their own freedom? What happens when government becomes an extension of someone’s ego? And how can we recognize manipulation before becoming its enforcers?
